In a particular case, in the rainfall frame, as I (Steve Loft) don't use a midnight to midnight day, in this screen for my latest version of Cumulus 1, an extra line appears between 'Today' and 'Yesterday', this gives the rain since midnight.

==View data==
This is the '''This period''' screen accessed from the '''View''' menu.
[[File:This period.PNG]]
Notice that the screen can be configured for any period, be it a single day, a week, a month, a season, a year, all time, or any other. The information shown on here predates the invention of this month and this year web tags (and web templates), and so includes data derived from the [[Dayfile.txt]] which is not available except on the screens accessed from the view menu. (MX does not provide an equivalent of this screen, nor does it report several of the statistics shown here).
